Lewis Hamilton changed his preparation for Canada, and it seemed to work
According to an F1 insider, Lewis Hamilton’s recent comments should make Ferrari cautious. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has been performing exceptionally well in 2026, achieving his best ever grand prix result with Ferrari by finishing second in the Canadian Grand Prix. Despite currently being in fourth place in the drivers’ championship, Hamilton is just three points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, whom he outperformed during the Montreal sprint weekend. With the next race in Monaco, a track where Leclerc excels, Hamilton’s three previous victories there could give Ferrari cause for concern. Hamilton’s decision to move away from using Ferrari’s simulator after a disappointing Miami GP has led to improved results, raising questions about the effectiveness of the team’s technology and setting up an intriguing battle for the upcoming races.
